The Emergence of Quantity-Sensitivity in Latinening, the shortening of heavy syllables in some positions, is shown to be crucial in assessing the nature of Classical Latin secondary stress. An analysis of shortening in Latin is provided which takes into account the sensitivity of word- internal Shortening to a following stressed syllable, and w

The Emergence of Contrastive Palatalization in Russiannts evaluate not only isolated forms as is usual, but . of forms in contrast. References to these systems of contrast is key to the statement of constraints governing the perceptual distinctiveness of contrasts on the one hand, and constraints directly penalizing merger (neutralization) on the other

Also, we demonstrate the capacity of Optimality Theory as a means of describing systematic, grammatically-structured long-term linguistic change — particularly changes following an ‘S’-curve pattern of linguistic renewal — as resulting from systematic re-order

The second part of this paper presents a simulation that shows that cyclic optimization is not only possible but also rather likely: twenty percent of all inventories are in an optimizing loop or heading towards one.
